95 Points, Only $14.99—A Super Tuscan Bargain - 11/06/2019 - Italy

Earning a huge 95-point rating and priced just under $15, the 2016 Mocali Cabernet Sauvignon is an outstanding value that has “bestseller” written all over it. The family-run estate of Mocali is best known for its dazzling Brunello, but this Cab is no slouch by any means. As James Suckling writes in his glowing review, this 2016 “shows a lovely compromise between richness and freshness.” There is no mistaking both its Tuscan roots and Cabernet profile, as it offers up ample flavors of cassis, blackcurrants, and the perfect touch of rusticity. Polished and exceptionally well-crafted, one might expect to pay three to four times the price for a wine of this caliber. We knew immediately upon tasting that this 2016 warranted a significant position as its all too easy to love. The perfect wine to have on hand to carry you through the holidays (and beyond), it is an open, expressive, and above all, versatile. Buy a case and enjoy this generous and giving Cab over the next five to ten years.

2016 Mocali Cabernet Sauvignon Rosso Toscano

2016 Mocali Cabernet Sauvignon Rosso Toscano ($14.99)

95 points James Suckling: "A lovely nose that shows a lovely compromise between richness and freshness. Pure blackcurrants, iodine, charcoal and dried herbs in addition to vanilla. Very structured on the palate with lithe tannins, running between layers of blue fruit and linear acidity and right through to the long, chewy finish." (10/2018)

Multiple choice? Mocali is: 1) the name of an ancient Etruscan tribe who worshipped goats; 2) an elaborate woven basket used to carry olives; or 3) an historic estate in Montalcino known for its traditional Brunellos and a range of remarkable Tuscan wines. If you picked number 3, reward yourself with a glass of this generous and unabashedly charming Cabernet Sauvignon, blessed with just enough finesse, refreshing acidity and savory fruit confit flavors to please a festive party of one to one hundred. Next question..... oh yes, the price? Have you ever seen a goat laugh?
